Barry Town Council to celebrate St David’s Day

Barry Town Council will be hosting the award winning St David’s Day Festival to celebrate St David’s Day in Barry. St David’s Day is celebrated nationally with Eisteddfods, music, competitions, parades and local events to remember Saint David, March 1 being marked as the day of his death in 589 AD.

The Barry St David’s Day Festival will take place on Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March 2026, with two separate events taking place across the weekend.

Sunday’s main event is a daffodil-themed fun run at Barry Island. The Daffodil Dash is a 2k run for adults, children and dogs. Registration costs £6.00 (plus booking fee) for adults, with children and dogs being free – but all those attending need to register for a ticket. The fee includes access to the fun run, and daffodil themed accessories for the event.
